The redspot cichlid, Darienheros calobrensis, is a large cichlid native to coastal rivers draining Panama's Pacific slope. It lives mostly in lakes, ponds and slow parts of rivers, swimming among the crevices of submerged rocky walls and banks. It has been placed in Cichlasoma and Amphilophus, and is occasionally listed under Astatheros. A belligerent, territorial species, it can share a tank with other large cichlids only in a very large aquarium.
